United States Army Sustainment Command (ASC) is the primary provider of logistics support to units of the United States Army. It is a major subordinate command of United States Army Materiel Command (AMC).
Four types of command authority can be distinguished: [1]
The sustainment function for an Army installation, such as Fort Bliss, and White Sands Missile Range, two contiguous but administratively separate military installations, can be tailored to the situation. [2] In the case of geographically remote locations, logistics can be an additional constraint to be solved, while still providing sustainment to the Army soldier. [3]

A unified combatant command (CCMD), also referred to as a combatant command, is a joint military command of the United States Department of Defense that is composed of units from two or more service branches of the United States Armed Forces, and conducts broad and continuing missions. There are currently 11 unified combatant commands and each are established as the highest echelons of military commands, in order to provide effective command and control of all U.S. military forces, regardless of branch of service, during peace or during war time. Unified combatant commands are organized either on a geographical basis or on a functional basis, e.g. special operations, force projection, transport, and cybersecurity. Currently, seven combatant commands are designated as geographical, and four are designated as functional. Unified combatant commands are "joint" commands and have specific badges denoting their affiliation.
